At work collecting more parts for the 81 hatch, my rear axles are starting to click a bit, both boots are gone on the inners, so it's time for an upgrade. I'm going with re-indexed torsion bars for 2" of lift, and another 3" block, so what are my axle upgrade options? Is it best to just use new OEM axles?

alot of folks end up using some inner cups from an ea82.they are bigger in diameter and give more flex .i do not know how much .i have ben thinking about doing it as well.who knows,i know that i remember general disorder saying that he has been using them ,and having good results.cheers,brian

Can I just use whole EA82 axles? I seem to remember that they are longer, otherwise they fit. I am using a rear swingarm assembly and disks from an 86-ish RX or turbo Brat.

yeh fronts are longer so the backs would have to be also.
